These beautiful leaf shaped prisms are extremely rare, and when we are lucky enough to come across them here at Cross Bottle Guy, they always make the most beautiful cross bottles! This one is no exception. Flat back and hand cut, these Austrian crystals are brilliantly refractive and centered on the last of our crystal rosettes, then paired up with our Russian octagonal prisms in two sizes, which burn with brilliant refractory. A large piece, sure to bring a glow to any room of your beautiful home, this is certainly one to add to your collection! 
The cross isn't the only rare piece, however. Married forever through the use of heavy, handwrought,  patinated solder, finished in our signature mercerized rust patina to a long neck green bottle from the early 1920's, and embellished by an antique wooden rosary bead sacrament, this entire handmade piece of art is unique, and a real show stopper!

Hand forged, this beautiful and large metal cross is one of only six that we were able to procure. Each slightly different than the other, there is a wonderful soul to each of these stunning metal open fretwork crosses. Highly detailed on the front only, the cross measures just over four inches tall, nearly twice the size of our incredibly popular pewter antediluvian rosary crosses. This antique paean to Christ, was likely the effort of an amateur metal smith, but the tremendous overall presence of this stunning cross couldn't be more perfect for rough/luxe mix that we have established with our handmade art here at Cross Bottle Guy.

Distinctive. Rare. Evocative.
 
Forever married to a beautifully hazy, antique scientific acid bottle in a beautiful aqua color, banded by one of our solder collars, and finished in our signature mercerized rust patina, this stunning piece of art is further embellished by a wood bead rosary with an Italian miraculous medallion.
